Hi truckers!

It's my second entry for the campaign - Bedford QL from old Revell kit. The kit shows its age, there're many ejection marks and sinkholes but overall impression is positive. Truck was dressed up with Eduard PE, 6 pdr has some scratchbuilded additions. Any comments appreciated





and the 6 pounder

Thats a very nice start!
I always wanted one of those but they unfortunately seem to me rather costly for such an old kit

I'm looking forward to seing it finished.

Good, solid build. It is nice to see the old kits being brought up to current standards. Does the AT gun mount in the bed of the truck?

I'm glad you like it. Maybe one day we'll see new tooled 'ancient' Airfix and Peerles kits but those oldies are still buildable. I bought the kit from a firend for a very reasonable price but for a regular price Eduard PE is not worth the money. It's typical old Eduard - only basic parts, usually oversized and simplified. You should see an engine gril, it's worst PE grill I've ever seen :-)
Sabot, 6 pdr will be mounted on the truck, pointing forward. BTW in the reality mounting the gun must have been tricky.

As has been said before it is nice to see some of these old kits appear. Nice solid build so far mate.

Cheers

So it's Revell who makes that. It ages well I guess.
